Plasma provides a broad spectrum of macromolecules, carrier proteins for lipoid substances and trace elements, attachment and spreading factors, low molecular weight nutrients, and hormones and growth factors that promote cell growth. It is used as a component of bioassays, immunoassays or enzyme assays.

Rabbit serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Rabbit serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

Calf serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Calf serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

For immunohistochemistry applications, sheep serum is frequently used as a blocking solution. Using sheep serum is useful for blocking the background cross reactivity with immunoglobulins which are already present in the tissue. When used before application of the primary antibody, sheep serum can eliminate Fc receptor binding of the primary and secondary antibody.

Donor foal serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Donor foal serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

Phenol red is used as a pH indicator in cell culture. Its colour exhibits a gradual transition from yellow to red over the pH range 6,8 to 8,2. Above pH 8,2, phenol red turns a bright pink (fuchsia) colour.

FreeAdd 1X is a fully chemically defined substitute for animal serum. It provides the necessary nutritional support for cell growth, development and expression. It has been tested on a variety of cells and can be used in combination with basal medium to generate equal or even better cell culture performance.

Newborn Calf Serum (NBCS) originates from 3 to 10 day old calves. It is a high quality, cost effective replacement for Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and contains a somewhat higher proportion of proteins and immunoglobulin, but fewer growth factors. With proper cell adaptation, it has been shown to perform very well in cell culture applications where routine cell growth and cell culture maintenance is the objective.

Human serum 'off-the-clot' is processed from human blood that has been coagulation-induced. It is collected from volunteer donors.

Donkey serum may be used as a blocking agent and controls in immunoassays. For immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry, donkey serum was used between 5 to 20% as a blocking agent in various studies.

Feline serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Feline serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

Donor horse serum is aseptically collected from herds of healthy animals inspected periodically by a licensed veterinarian. Applications for donor horse serum include mycoplasma contamination tests carried out on media, blocking agent and controls in immunoassays, culture of PC12 cells when combined with FBS.
